Rebel Nation

= high-level marketing experience + creative innovation + awesomeness

In 1997, a young lady by the name of Kylie Porter branched out from the 100-year-old family business and started her own business – Out of the Blue Marketing. Known for its’ high-level strategic advice, PR, design and marketing, Out of the Blue was the marketing agency that you never knew were behind some of the biggest brands and government agencies in our area.

Rebel Marketing was started in 2015 by another young lady, Jade McAuley. Bold, confident and full of… coffee, Jade took a leap, and never looked back.

In 2017, Kylie sold her business baby to Jade, thus creating the #mashup of the century and quite possibly the longest phone answering statement in history. “Hello this is Out of the Blue Marketing and Rebel Marketing, how can we help you?”

As the businesses merged, it became apparent that a new identity would be appropriate. One that honoured their strong history yet projected a daring and (mostly) fearless future. After quite a few bottles of… lemonade, a decision was made – and Rebel Nation was born.
If Out of the Blue Marketing was the traditional, corporate, baby boomer and Rebel Marketing was the boundary-pushing, millennial teenager, then Rebel Nation is the sophisticated, eyes-wide-open, goal-kicking, world-dominating Gen Xer.

MIki Isaac-Boyd

COPY + DIGITAL CONTENT

Miki is a creative writer and producer, although creative is an understatement. Her brain is a universe of ideas, flowing uninhibited (and often without a filter) onto the page. We once had a list of all the things that Miki writes, but honestly, it would be quicker to read War and Peace. Let’s just say, she’s in love with words… and Kardashians.
